3 reasons to trade for Lowry: Brooklyn Nets

More from The Sixer Sense

Part of the reason the Sixers should target Lowry is because they lost Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets themselves have become a legit contender now and as a result, the Sixers need to upgrade their roster.

Brooklyn has Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant and outside of depth at the center position, they are a pretty well-balanced roster with some legit role players. If the Sixers want a chance of getting out of the second round of the playoffs, they need to add an All-Star like Lowry.

Right now, the Sixers don’t have enough offense and shot-creating to even try to keep pace with the Nets. Embiid is an elite player and Shake Milton is starting to come into his own, but players like Tobias Harris, Seth Curry, and Tyrese Maxey can’t be relied upon to be creators in a playoff setting.

Lowry has proven that he is a reliable playoff performer and would be a player the 76ers can turn to finish games and Philly needs that type of player on the roster.

Lowry is an All-Star level player who can help elevate the Philadelphia 76ers to contenders in the East, who fits seamlessly with their two stars, and who is most likely available.
